32.5 Weeks!

WOW how time has flown by! It's so hard for me to believe that this baby will be here in less than 2 months! I have gotten so much done, but feel like there is still so much that needs to be done. Especially when it comes to loving on Preston and Emily before this new little life joins our family. I remember being overwhelmed with a guilty feeling the night before we had Emily. Preston was my baby and he was no longer going to be the baby once she got here. The kind of emotions I'm feeling now isn't that Emily won't be a baby anymore, but that Preston and Emily are going to have to share their time with Jeff and me even more. They have no idea how much time and effort will go into this baby. So, I just have to pray that they will be reminded each day how special they are to us and how much we love them. I do think they will be tremendous helpers and I know they are both so excited. We put the Pack n Play up in our bedroom on Sunday and Emily has loved playing with it with her baby dolls. Another prayer of mine is that this baby will ease right into our lives and home. Emily was such a hard baby and it was hard to do much of anything without a crying baby. Yesterday we had freezing rain pretty much all day so schools were closed and I worked from home. That evening, Jeff and I started going through Preston and Emily's clothes so we will have them split up and whatever gender this baby isn't, we'll take those clothes to Goodwill. It's such a grueling process, but we had to do it so we would know what we still needed for this baby. That being said, and after discussing it with a couple of people, I have registered at Target. I really debated because this is our third baby, but there are still things we need and several friends have asked. There are a couple of "fun" things, but it's mostly things we still need. Thankfully, we have been able to buy a lot along the way and Jeff has a teacher friend that we were able to buy several things from. It's not something we will "announce", but will be there if someone asks. Other than all that, I'm feeling pretty good. Definitely feeling pregnant, but can't complain. My belly is getting huge although people are telling me that it's still small. My face is huge including my nose. :) I'm still able to wear my rings and most days they are still pretty loose.
